For the better or for the worst, which book actually affected you. I’ll start, The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. Such an amazing book, well written and suprised me.
[SPOILERS]
The blurb on the back stated that each Lisbon sister k1lled themselves one by one. What I was expecting was throughout every 3 or so chapters, a Lisbon sister would kill themselves. But actually, 85% of the book, was only 1 Lisbon sister dead and the other 4 alive until the end when they all k1lled themselves. If I was told that the large majority of the book was just about the Lisbon girls life through the eyes of teenage boys and then eventually in the end they all k1ll themselves, I would probably be less interested in the book. But this book was hard to put down, it was so well written with amazing vocabulary and it spent the right amount of time explaining things (instead of using 12 pages to describe a staircase or only 3 sentences to describe a plot etc). It kept me interested and also with it being on a slightly alarming topic (suicide), it gave the book an eerie feeling which filled me with a strange comfort.

Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb was the first piece of media to ever make me cry. Her characters are so realistic you can’t help but become emotionally attached
The epilogue of Crime and Punishment was likely some of the most uplifting and hopeful literature after have sat the previous through 600 pages. Something in the idea of redemption that is conveyed is beautiful.
Many. The first book I remember playing all my emotions was Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. It made me cry, laugh, made me angry, and made me horny.
